I've Been Here Before: When Souls of the Holocaust Return

Is there a soul that outlives the body? Could that soul come back to a new body carrying the memories of the former? Is there any evidence that makes reincarnation not only plausible but likely? Through 100 first-person stories, author Sara Rigler introduces readers to people from all over the world whose experiences defy rational explanation - unless they are, as they claim to be, reincarnated souls from the Holocaust. "Beautifully written and compellingly argued, Sara Yoheved Rigler's groundbreaking book is a significant contribution to our understanding of how the Holocaust continues to impact on the Jewish psyche and soul. Even for someone like me, who is an agnostic on the claims raised by this book, the stories told here present a formidable challenge to how we perceive the post-Holocaust era." Yossi Klein Halevi, NY Times bestselling author

Review :
"As a son of Holocaust survivors, I learned from an early age that long after the years of my parents' suffering, the nightmares lingered on. In this monumental work, Sara Rigler documents and analyzes the frightening recollections of those who were never actually there, the nightmares of so many born after the Holocaust and raised in the blissful tranquility of the New World. This is an incredibly eye-opening and inspiring journey into one of the greatest mysteries of our times." Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, Rabbi of Aish Kodesh Congregation, Woodmere, NY "Sara Rigler, my old friend from college, has written a powerful and astonishing book about gilgul neshamot -- reincarnation -- and her own fascinating spiritual journey. Since my own Jewish roots draw from the rational and progressive dimensions of Jewish tradition, I cannot readily accept her thesis, but I loved the book for its daring, its narrative power, its unblinking honesty, and the moving personal stories that it tells. My advice: Read it and prepare to be challenged." Rabbi Eric Yoffie, President Emeritus, Union for Reform Judaism "Sara Yoheved Rigler has done exceptional work in meticulously compiling, recording, and describing personal stories of Jews and non-Jews from many countries. By doing so she has rendered an invaluable service not only to the previously 'secret society' of suffering members of the Jewish community by freeing them from a sense of isolation, but also to humanity as a whole by delivering the ultimate proof that reincarnation is a reality-rather than a belief system." Sabine Lucas, PhD, author of Past Life Dreamwork "Sara Rigler makes a powerful presentation of fascinating stories that cry out for explanation. Even if you are a skeptic by nature, you will be struck by a dimension of the Holocaust that inexplicably reaches out to change lives beyond the passage of time." Rabbi Yitzchak Adlerstein, The Simon Wiesenthal Center "Sara Rigler's extensive research and collection of past-life Holocaust memories confirms the reality of this phenomenon, and offers hope for healing the trauma that carried over for many of us. For those who have not had their own memories, the case studies offer compelling evidence for the continuation of a personal consciousness after death." Carol Bowman, bestselling author of Children's Past Lives "Sara Rigler has written a powerful and gripping narrative...The stories make for fascinating reading." Rabbi Yitzchak A. Breitowitz, Kehillat Ohr Somayach "As someone who deals with restoring the dignity of the people who perished in the Holocaust by remembering them as individuals with identities, families, professions, by instilling a Jewish custom of lighting a personal memorial candle in their memory, I was thrilled to discover the mostly unchartered world depicted in this book. While reading the fascinating true stories I was introduced to a largely unknown aspect of the Holocaust. An eye opening journey memorializing the individuals who perished in the Holocaust." Alicia Kaylie Yacoby, Founder, Our6Million "This book is not only credible, it is important." Rebbetzin Tziporah (Heller) Gottlieb, author and lecturer
